I read 3315 different. Intro: Once the client has determined the address of a server, it may under some circumstances send messages directly to the server using unicast. With BRDP, the client is informed of addresses of servers. It can decide which server to use. This is a *required* feature for better multi-homing support. I agree the actual mechanism needs to be spelled out, e.g. when client needs to add a Relay Agent option in its messages.
